The Missing of Reality

„How much transgressions dull the mind - whether the mind of the individual or the mind of the community, of the generation and of the era.”From Shemonah Kevatzim IV:14

When we conduct ourselves in reality in a way that is not upright, choosing various temptations and preferring them over what is right to do, we pay a heavy price. And this is true in the world of the mitzvot, and true in the world of morality, and true in the world of nutrition, and true in the political world and in all worlds. We must remember that our ability to repent, to repair, is always present. The more we succeed in doing things in the right way, the better it will be for us and for the whole world.
